So this is day six, so far 8 lbs down. Not too sure if its from the phen or from my fear of disappointment again. Since I've started taking this I'm scared to eat. I'm afraid if I don't see results that I'll give up just like I always do. This is my first try at a perscription drug, always before they've been over the counter. And..within a few days if I didn't see anything..they'd go right up on the shelf with all the rest. But now I'm at a desperate point in my life. I've had alot of things happen within the past couple of years that has had me in bouts of depression where I'd turn to food and either starve myself or eat myself stupid! I've always been heavy, my biggest was 263 a few years ago, but I lost 52 of that. I've had a child since then and it's slowly been creeping back on.
I'm taking 15ml as of now. I take it in the am, around 9 or so, by noon I can feel it kick in, I get kinda shakey and zoomy, lol. But by 6:30 I'm so hungry. I want to eat but by then I start telling myself "oh its so late, you went this long.." What I guess I'm looking for is some one to tell me "yes this works, yes stick it out, yes look at me now!" I've read a lot of the sucess stories and I look at the time lines and I'm like "wow, 2 YEARS!" and thats where I get discouraged. If someone out there could offer some advice it would be appreciated greatly.

Just like everything else in life this is hard. Phen works if you work. You have to eat right and exercise for the weight to go down. The first few weeks you will lose a lot of excess water, then slowly you will lose fat, but dont get discouraged when you dont see the scale move because your body can be losing inches. I lost no weight in the month of october but lost 10 inches. I used to have a really hard time losing weight but I came to realize that I am only truley happy when I am trying- eating right, exercising, and drinking lots of water. I know i have done nothing wrong and that I will be rewarded eventually. i find my body takes a while to catch up. If I work hard today and tomorrow I will lose a few lbs in a few weeks. It will take patience and a will to want to change your life for the good.I started at 230lbs and I lost 28 lbs in 3 months on phen Since then I have been off for a month and only gained 2 lbs of water weight back, I am determined to do this for the rest of my life and keep it off.

Welcome!!!! Well i've been on Phen since May and lost 77lbs, i think im doing very good!
What are you taking? Caps or tabs? If you're taking the tabs i would probably suggest you take 1/2 in the am and 1/2 around 4 or 5 if that works for you. Dont think that it's not going to work, you have to be positive and stay focused.... Most of all drink alot of water and try to exercise. I wish you luck and stay focused. ![]() Good luck! P.S. if you need motivation you've come to the right place.....

You really need to find what works for you and you do still need to eat. I count every calorie and I stay around 1200 calories and work out 5 days a week. I'm finally to the point that I'm not thinking about food all the time and I only eat 3 meals a day with no snacking and lots of water. This is about changing bad habits and like alot of people I'm an emotioanl eater so I keep a journal now and it's really working. You need to stay postive and try to use food as a source to fuel your body not to take emotional pain away. Your doing great and you can do this..............

my dr told me that in order to loose weight you have to eat BUT watch your calorie intake and drinks lots and lost of water ( at least half your body weight) i have to eat every couple of hours to speed up my metabolism. but i cant go past 1200 calories a day ( and protein is important)
i have found it easier to keep a journal as well so that i can be responsible for what i put into my mouth .. hope that helps a little |
